In the Purple Bamboo Forest, Chu Huaixu met his future master ancestor.
The man who, according to legend, proved his Dao through killing, aiming to eradicate demons for a century.
He wore a white robe from head to toe, even his shoes were white, looking immaculate and transcendent.
Unfortunately, in earthly terms, he belonged to the "shrimp type of man":
— Only edible after removing the head.
This Daoist Junior Martial Uncle had no issues with his clothing taste, nor could his height be considered too short, just not tall.
But his face, it was truly too ordinary.
Moreover, despite being impeccably dressed, with every single strand of hair neatly groomed, for some reason, he seemed entirely without charm.
Many say that the highest level of handsome is actually — handsome without being aware.
Because once you realize you're handsome, you tend to be slick.
But what's even worse is being ordinary looking yet feeling exceptionally good about yourself, and excessively vain.
